Award Recipient Institutions

With the potential to significantly alter the way organizations look at carbon nanomaterial research towards mass commercialization applications, iNanoComm is positioned to drive real change within the academic research and startup communities.

Researchers and startups are invited to request a free sample of TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes. For details visit the Sample Request page.

Launch Partners

TheSmalley-Curl Center at Rice University is an inaugural iNanoComm award recipient for their work on creating a lightweight conductive thread of carbon nanotubes to replace copper wire and foster a new network of energy distribution in our nation’s aging electrical infrastructure.

Concordia University is an award recipient for their work on conductive structural adhesives based on SWCNT dispersions and buckypapers. High strength conductive adhesives in the aerospace industry will ensure electrical continuity and improve charge dissipation, EMI shielding and lightning protection of bonded structures.

PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS

iNanoComm has already supported over 100 groups and projects across more than 55 institutions in the United States, Canada and Australia. See below for a sample of institutions receiving support through the program.

iNanoComm is sponsored by OCSiAl, an international technology company operating in the USA, Europe, and Asia. As the largest producer of single wall carbon nanotubes in the world, OCSiAl is a driving force in advancing nanomaterial applications. With over 50 million USD invested in carbon nanotube projects, OCSiAl partners with industry leaders across the globe to deliver the next level of materials technology and enable lighter, stronger and more conductive products.

The history of OCSiAl began in 2009 with the question – “Is it possible to create an industrial technology for the synthesis of single wall carbon nanotubes, scalable to hundreds of thousands of tons per year with a reduction in costs of up to one hundred times?”

This dream united famous physicist Mikhail Predtechenskiy and prominent industrial technology businessmen such as Yuri Koropachinskiy, Yuri Zelvenskiy and Oleg Kirillov. They saw a fundamental opportunity to improve the properties of the majority of produced materials. OCSiAl was then founded with the vision to significantly improve the world around us through advanced materials.

The "Graphetron 1.0" was publicly launched in 2014, becoming the largest industrial facility for the synthesis of single wall carbon nanotubes. Read more about OCSiAl's vision in the Carbon Age manifesto.
